So, I wanted to take a second and share some super rad news. You remember that cool Puppet and cartoon show, Captain Cornelius Cartoon’s Cartoon Lagoon that I mentioned last year? Well, the really swell Manny Galán and Cartoon Lagoon Studios have partnered with Starz to bring the Lagoon to Union Pool!

This is really cool news and now you can head on over to UP’s Youtube channel and check up on Cornelius and his crew as they go on their daring undersea adventures to rescue those old forgotten cartoons and for our viewing pleasure!

Episodes 1 & 2 are now live, so head on over, watch the show and make sure you subscribe so you can keep up with the antics of Cornelius, Axel, Wet Willy and Plank! Tell ’em Branded sent ya!

In celebration of the debut, and in the “vein” of the Halloween season, Manny has graciously donated a set of beautiful canvas prints of his artwork featuring Monster Cereal icons Count Chocula, Franken Berry, and Boo Berry. Not only are these prints limited, but each has also been signed by Galán and the actual voices of the monsters themselves Larry Kenny (Count Chocula, as well as Lion-O from the Thundercats), Robb Pruitt (Franken Berry, as well as the voice of the Blue M&M), and Chris Phillips (Boo Berry, as well as the Nickelodeon “Face” from the 90s era interstitials.)

So, what do you have to do in order to get your hands on these sugary sweet cereal monster prints and DVDs? Well, I thought it would be fun to hold a good ‘ol fashioned scavenger hunt! Just like Cornelius and his crew of the Manta Ray dive down deep into the depths of the Cartoon Lagoon looking for choice toons, to score these awesome prizes you’ll have to wade into the waters of the Cartoon Lagoon Studios website and blog looking for the answers to the seven important questions featured below! To enter, send me an e-mail with the answers to as many of the following seven questions as you can find. Make sure to include “Monster Cereal Prints Contest” in the subject line, as well as your name. I’ll be accepting entries until Monday, October 15th, at Midnight. Since this is a scavenger hunt, I’ll be selecting winners based first on the number of correct answers, and then in the order with which I received the responses.

There will be one grand prize featuring all three signed Monster Cereal prints and Vol. 1 of Cartoon Lagoon on DVD. Two runners up will receive a copy of Cartoon Lagoon Vol. 1 on DVD. Here’s the list of questions you’ll need to answer (all the answers are on the Cartoon Lagoon blog), and good hunting!

1). How many “K’s” does Wet Willy pipe onto Axel’s birthday cake, and how many was he supposed to pipe? Hint, you can check out this Storyboard of that sequence here.

2). What is the brand name of Captain Cornelius’s cereal box (that he’s stashed since the 70s) and what type of creature is the mascot? (Hint, check the September 18th 2012 entry on the Cartoon Lagoon blog.)

3). In the Interview with Axel, Axel mentions a strange currency that the crew is paid in. What is that currency? (Hint, read the interview here.)

4). What five classic cartoons are shown in the Cartoon Lagoon Trailer?

5). In an interview with Wet Willy Jones, who does he name as his favorite cartoon character? (Hint, read the interview here.)
